What to Bring

We know the journey of emotional wellness is demanding, so we want to try to help this be as easy as possible for you. The following is a guideline of things you may need to bring for your stay:

Note: Some of the items listed below may be kept in the self-care closet for safety purposes.

Items it is very important to bring:

A list of all physicians and therapists you have worked with in the past five years

A list of all prescribed medications you are currently taking

A list of medications you have previously taken

A bag containing all of the medications you are currently taking (in pharmacy dispensing bottles, not in day containers), including over-the-counter medications, vitamins, supplements or other remedies. We are not able to accept sample packs of medications.

Any medical records you are able to obtain. Please fax these to Brookhaven Retreat’s confidential fax line, 865-609-6216 for our medical team to review. Please know that providing Medical Records before admission can enhance the care and services.

If you are leaving another service, please have the hospital and/or facility fax a discharge summary and medical notes to our confidential fax line listed above, along with a signed Brookhaven Retreat Release.

Items you should consider bringing:

Comfortable clothing – laundry facilities are available and we provide “All Free and Clear” Detergent and “Bounce Free and Sensitive” Dryer Sheets. Check our local weather data and seasonal data so that you can plan for your trip.

Robe, nightgowns, pajamas, slippers, sweatshirt, jacket

Comfortable shoes & socks/hose

A warm jacket for working with the horses (some like to bring gloves)

Purse or wallet

Wristwatch

Hat/visor, sunglasses

Although we have all linen supplies, some like to bring their own favorite blanket and pillow
